Lets all get together and discuss plans for 2014's SouthEast GM tuners MEet.

This year we had it in Gadsden, Al.
We had roughly 21 Cars over the weekend meet, some showed up during certain activities.
This was the complete crowd that was there all weekend.
There was one more there Friday night and Saturday, but due to allergies he had to head home after Cars and Coffee Saturday.

We've discussed changing the location to allow more people to come, as alot of the people who said they were coming had issues come up at the last minute.

One state brought up by a few people was Ohio.
Do you guys and ladies have any suggestions?

I sure as hell ain't driving to Ohio for a Southeast meet lol. I say we keep it around the Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, even Florida area. I don't mind a road trip, but a Southeast meet should be in the Southeast! If we are going to go that far north, might as well wait until June and head to Carlisle, Pa and do the GM Nationals where the turnout would be massive.

Well there is a TON of stuff to do in/around Gatlinburg, TN, not sure on if there is a track near by or not.
They hold Rod Run there twice a year once in the spring and once in the fall.
They average hundreds of cars(mostly classics, but the "tuner scene" are starting to grow there).

I'm still trying to figure out how you guys are including states as far west as Texas in something youre calling a southeast meet, and now even mentioning a state as far north as Ohio. Nothing against anyone from those states, but if you want something central for a southeast meet I'd stick to Alabama/Georgia.

We included Texas because they ask to be. It showed promise to make the meet bigger.

As it has already been stated, Texas was included in the 2013 Southeast meet because they wanted to be and they made the drive. Its not like we were gonna tell them not to come because they were from Texas.

Personally I think the Alabama/Georgia area is a great middle location to have a meet up.

Somewhere around Birmingham, I'd be willing to drive that and I'm sure there's a decent track somewhere with Tuscaloosa so close. I think a large city would give the meet more credibility than Gadsden lol. I didn't come this year because I was sure the turnout would be low and the planning was horrendous

Hell, somewhere around Atlanta would work just as well.

Pick a place and put some decent thought into it is all I'm really saying.

That would be where had the event at. We were a hour north of Birmingham. We actually drove into Birmingham for Cars and Coffee, which worked out well for our poker run.

Atlanta does have a 1/4 mile track, but dealing with traffic in Atlanta just sucks.
